Traveler reviews
That 808 Couple
Bob is a superb guide! This food tour is worth its weight in gold! Definitely opt for the private experience. 100% catered to what we wanted and the food is incredible! All future travelers NEED to do this tour!
10/10 would do this again!!!
The whole experience was fantastic. Our guide, Chi, was phenomenal. She was chatty and energetic as she showed us the city, made us feel comfortable and safe as she guided us through traffic, and explained everything we were eating. She taught us the information and history of the foods, Vietnamese words, and interesting nuggets of Vietnamese history. She shared personal experiences, made us laugh, and made the 3 hours fly by! We wish we could take her to every city we visit so she can show us the best foods! Thank you Chi!!! You’re the best!
We love you Minh!!
I recommend everyone to book this tour and specifically request for Minh. He gave us what it's like to eat like a local, entering alleyways and sitting on stools like how it should be done. He showed us the must eats in Hanoi and it did not disappoint! As a tour guide he was so much fun to be around and was just the best company to have. If I could I'd do it all over again!
